It’s easy to miss some dramatic differences between the Trump years and the Biden years. Take, for example, the “tell-all books,” either written by journalists who are granted access to insiders or books written by the insiders themselves.

By this time in the Trump term – the summer of 2019 – we were 18 months into “tell-all season.” But no Biden insiders are writing a “tell-all book.” We’re not counting memoirs by the family – by Hunter Biden, or Hunter’s ex-wife Kathleen, or the president’s sister Valerie. We’re talking about hyper-negative books.

There seem to be two books by journalists with some internal detail. Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger wrote “The Bidens,” which came out in September 2021, to almost zero TV attention.

Last January, Chris Whipple came out with a book titled “The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House.” But he wasn’t a…

Letter to the Editor

The Australian                     19 June 2023

Madness comes in many forms, from King George III of England to Marcel Leyat from France, who in the 1920s designed a wingless aeroplane and marketed it as an automobile (John Connolly, Weekend Australian 17.6). Given that a large propeller mounted on the front of a car is quite dangerous for pedestrians, most normal people would see that as insane.  But the Kevin Rudd-inspired Grattan Institute probably thinks it’s an idea for our times, given that they have now come out with the mad idea of ripping out all gas-operated stoves and appliances across Australia, in the name of, you guessed it – achieving  net Zero (Gas ban plan to hit Green…

Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) started life as the Advisory Council of Science and Industry in 1916 and has long been respected for its innovations in science, such as the Hendra vaccine, Barleymax, polymer heart valves, WiFi, insect repellent, to name just a few of its outstanding achievements. – https://csiropedia.csiro.au/our-top-10-inventions/

Unfortunately, it appears that the CSIRO is fast losing respect when it comes to reporting on climate science with problems starting some time ago when a number of CSIRO scientists actually praised the climate alarm nonsense that was kick-started with Al Gore’s discredited movie An Inconvenient Truth:

In 2006, An Inconvenient Truth (AIT) was released along with Al Gore’s book: “The planetary emergency of global warming.”  Both movie and book received widespread attention. Politicians, environmentalists and elements of the media quickly embraced the global warming creed’s doomsday message and promoted agendas such…

Environmental bureaucrats are out to save you from pizza.

The city government is set to restrict emissions from coal- and wood-fired pizza ovens in restaurants in the city.

New Yorkers are once again suffering at the hands of the unelected food police in the name of public health and climate change.

New Yorkers have already endured former Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s attempts to ban soda sales of over 16 ounces for their own good and are facing Gov. Kathy Hochul’s gas stove and furnace bans in the state, all in the name of climate change.

And now, another one bites the crust as New York City officials are going after pizzerias using the century-old cooking methods, citing the ovens’ allegedly excessive carbon emissions.

But how many pizzas would you have to order to equal just one trip on John Kerry’s private jet?

In 2021, Kerry’s private…
